PRODUCT NOTES
The TGWF3K is a Remote Add-on Dimmer Switch that is designed for installation with the
TGWF500D. Traditional dimmers only allows you to dim the lights from one location and
turn the lights on/off from other locations. The TGWF3K's remarkable design allows you to
have full dimming and on/off control of the lights from multiple locations.
Follow the diagrams in this manual to connect the main dimmer (model TGWF500D or
TGWF15S not included) and the add-on dimmers to multiple locations.

Common 3-Way wiring: 3-way switches are commonly wired as depicted
below with the Power "LINE" entering the electrical wall box at one
location, then connected to a second location with a 3 conductor (14-3 or
12-3 cable), and lastly connected to the light (or LOAD) by a 2 conductor
(14-2 or 12-2 cable).
This diagram is to be used only as a guide for what to expect when the
existing switches are removed from the walls.

3-Way Installation with TGWF3K
Using existing wires: Follow this diagram to replace your existing 3-way switches. Be sure that
the primary switch (TGWF500D or TGWF15S) is installed at the location with the HOT wire.
Installation with Multiple TGWF3K
Multiple locations: Follow this diagram to replace your existing 3-way and 4-way switches. The
light (LOAD) may be installed at any location.
The Air Gap Switch located below the Dimmer Switch Paddle
is designed for your safety. With push buttons switches, it is
difficult to know if the switch is in the On or the Off position
without having to use a tester. This switch eliminates the hazard
of having to change a light bulb on a possibly live fixture.
Use the Air Gap Switch to Power Off before you
change the bulb.
